Hobgoblin (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bugaboo

'hobgoblin' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for bugaboo that I've seen before include "source of alarm" , "Object of anxiety" , "it's awful!" , "which makes one anxious" , "Bogey" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
